I am interested in getting an OBD reader for my 07 Expedition. I have looked into several, Torque Pro, OBD Eleven, and Carly.
Does anyone have experience with the ones mentioned?
Thank you

Does it have the ability to diagnose codes, clear the codes, and offer solutions for the problems?
Thanks

I really like FORScan. I use it with a WiFi OBD adapter and have it loaded on my Android head unit and my iPhone. I went with WiFi for the iPhone as only the newer Bluetooth adapters work with iOS.

I occasionally use Car Scanner Pro which is simple and free. For some reason I’ve never used Torque. I believe all will read and reset codes and view live data. Forscan is specifically for Ford.

I opted for a fox tech scanner with abs and airbag options. Free updates for life, and it can be used on any obd2 vehicle
Not as nice as a dedicated tool like forscan, but more useful overall for my needs.

Thanks for all the info. I ended up going with Carly because it can do multiple brands. I have used it for BMW and Audi. It does have a good feature called Smart Mechanic which is very helpful.

I got a BlueDriver as a gift. Does some simple logging & checks code, and even informed on an open recall on a former car I had.
Haven't run it on my Exped or Explorer yet.
